In small towns, the truth doesn't come out. It gets rewritten until everyone can live with the version they helped create.
Bridget Finch is a small-town reporter drowning in debt and desperate for a way out. Her mother, Lorraine, is a retired history teacher who knows everything about everyone in Blackwater County. When an anonymous obituary is submitted to the local paper predicting Lorraine's exact time of death, Bridget expects panic. Instead, Lorraine calmly opens her doors, hosting a living vigil and inviting the town to return what they've borrowed-and confess what they hide.
At 4:17 PM, the exact minute predicted in the obituary, Lorraine vanishes from a house locked entirely from the inside. She leaves behind a cup of warm tea, a missing silver fork, and a cryptic note: Count the silverware.
As the sheriff launches a missing person investigation, Bridget realizes the vigil wasn't a farewell; it was a trap. Forced to investigate her own mother's disappearance, Bridget uncovers a 29-year-old agricultural fraud that destroyed a family, a secret daughter given away at birth, and a web of blackmail that threatens to consume the entire town. But the most dangerous secret of all is the one Bridget is keeping herself.
